“As I have a strong passion for Design, I was confident in my application to the Ngee Ann Polytechnic Scholarship and was determined to make a positive impact with my interests. As an NP Scholar, I was able to take my design projects to greater heights by investing in more materials and methods with the added financial support. I hope to pursue university upon graduation and one day be a part of imparting design thinking and design skills to future generations.”

“As a final-year student and a recipient of the Tan Sri (Dr) Tan Chin Tuan Scholarship, I’ve been provided opportunities to further my passion for community work through art. I’ve worked with Thye Hwa Kuan BP Family Centre to do an online Arts Jamming Programme with their children beneficiaries and exhibited their final pieces at Bukit Panjang Library. Having benefitted from this scholarship, I hope to inspire others to connect with the local community and also wish to start a ground-up initiative - to nurture creativity, self-expression and mental wellness.”

“Apart from allowing me to fully focus on my academic studies and passions without having to worry about school fees, the CSIT Diploma Scholarship also offered me the chance to embark on an internship as a software developer with CSIT. I got to work and learn from experts within the tech industry and pick up knowledge in the latest industry-standard technology. These will definitely come in handy as I hope to continue my studies through a Degree in Computer Science at NUS as my aspiration is to become a software developer.”

“Since graduating from NP, I have continued in my pursuit in pharmacology. Back in poly I was motivated to apply for the A*STAR (Polytechnic) Award as I wanted to explore the research industry and gain hands-on experience in the field. Despite only being an intern at the Skin Research Institute of Singapore, I got to work on 3D printing of microneedles for biomedical applications and picked up skills such as the design of my own protocols and troubleshooting to get desired results. This unique experience gave me more insights into different research fields and broadened my perspectives and knowledge.”
